About this listen

Three stories set in the very first year of the 1920’s: A single soldier’s corpse is repatriated to Britain to a hero’s welcome; The first ever radio broadcast by a professional performer and the story of a scheming young Lord who is not what he seems.

Plus, Stephen compiles an ABC of words invented in this decadent decade.

This is all a bit silly. Goes off on strange tangents that are not very interesting.

Dumbed down.
